Integrates the compact library with the phar library.

Requirement
-----------

[](#requirement)

- PHP >= 5.3.3
- [Phine Compact](https://github.com/phine/lib-compact) >= 1.1
- [Phine Exception](https://github.com/phine/lib-exception) >= 1.0.0
- [Phine Observer](https://github.com/phine/lib-observer) >= 2.0
- [Phine Phar](https://github.com/phine/lib-phar) >= 1.0.0

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/):

```
$ composer require "phine/phar-compact=~1.0"

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The library provides a single subject observer for lib-phar. This observer can be registered to the following subjects in order to compact file contents as they are being added to the archive:

- `Builder::ADD_FILE`
- `Builder::ADD_STRING`

To create an observer, you will need a new instance of `CompactObserver`.

```
use Phine\Compact;
use Phine\Compact\Collection;
use Phine\Phar\Builder;
use Phine\Phar\Compact\CompactObserver;

// create the archive builder
$builder = Builder::create('example.phar');

// create the collection of compactors
$collection = new Collection();
$collection->addCompactor(new Compact\Json());
$collection->addCompactor(new Compact\Php());
$collection->addCompactor(new Compact\Xml());

// create the compactor observer
$observer = new CompactObserver($collection);

// register it with the builder subjects
$builder->observe(Builder::ADD_FILE, $observer);
$builder->observe(Builder::ADD_STRING, $observer);
```

With the observer registered, any time a file is added to the archive via the `addFile()` or `addFromString()` methods, the contents of the supported file types will be automatically compacted before being added to the archive.
